What makes Fedora desirable in clouds?
Hey everyone,
While mowing the yard last weekend, something came to mind about Fedora on clouds. We
spend a lot of time thinking about getting Fedora onto more clouds and making it more
interoperable with cloud APIs. Increasing Fedora's usage by making it available in
more clouds seems like a worthwhile goal.
However, I wonder why people choose to use Fedora versus an alternative when they deploy
in public clouds. These questions came to mind:
* Is there something lacking in the Fedora experience?
* Is Fedora more difficult to use or does it have limitations that frustrate users?
* Are we missing docs and blog posts that help users deploy their favorite applications on
Fedora?
I'll admit that I bounce between regular Fedora and Fedora CoreOS in my own
deployments. A lot of that depends on what I plan to run there. If I'm running
containerized applications, CoreOS gets me up and running quickly. If I need to do some
development or run something a bit more complex, I usually reach for Fedora Cloud.
I would love to hear thoughts from others on this topic about how we can improve the
end-user experience for Fedora in public clouds of all sizes.
